Agreed; if you’ve accepted a job offer, reneging on that deal because your current employer made you a better offer isn’t a great look. It’ll be remembered by the hiring company and the individual who made the offer, and that can follow you around for a long time, making future job searches a lot harder.

I disagree. I've personally hired people who previously did this exact back and forth dance of getting an offer, then rejecting it because their current employer made them a better off. If a company is petty enough to hold it against you when you act in your best interests, you probably don't want to work there.


Making an offer and having it refused is different than having it accepted and then reneged.
